How to read the match: Exact = same level and same reflect · Close = same level, same reflect family · Approximate = same level in natural, or adjacent level with the same reflect. Hover each badge for that row's reason.
Of the 69 Color Gels Lacquers shades, 48 exact, 12 close and 9 approximate in this chart with ChromaSilk. For example, Color Gels Lacquers's 8AB maps to ChromaSilk's 8.1. Natural reflects cross over best; matte ones need more adjustment.
Color Gels Lacquers writes the reflect with a letter family after the level: a single letter for the pure naturals (8N = Mojave, 6N = Moroccan Sand) and two letters for the rest (NN natural natural, NW natural warm, NA natural ash, GN green, AB ash blue, GB gold beige, NG gold, RO red orange); ChromaSilk uses hybrid system: naturals carry N (7N) and the rest use dot + reflect (7.44 = intense copper blonde). The level (1-10) stays the same; what changes when converting is how the reflect is written.
